Ten Years of Yearning. My Love, Let Me Protect You.

Besides Luo Lixi and Pan Er Jiu, only Jessy Lauren had the authority to enter the private room of Luo Lixi's office. Because of this, many were jealous of Pan Er Jiu and Jessy Lauren. 

Now that this happened, they couldn't help but point at Jessy to vent their dissatisfaction! Not to say, she couldn't even clear herself as the CCTV footage was missing!

Riu Ren turned to Luo Lixi and regained his respectful attitude. Then, he spoke with a straight face, "Boss, we have capable lawyers and I am sure they can handle it if we lodge a case against Souring Fish. Also, it's very clear as to who is the traitor among us. We should take severe steps to punish her to set an example!"

Silence. 

In an unplanned unison, all people's eyes on Jessy Lauren turned intense as they all waited for Luo Lixi's answer. The latter turned to Jessy and asked, "Jessy, you have something to say to me?" 

Jessy Lauren looked up at Luo Lixi. Her eyes were brimming with tears, threatening to fall but she was trying very hard to control them. At Luo Lixi's words, she shook her head and looked down on the ground. 

Luo Lixi frowned at this. She hated to see the resigned look on someone as if he or she had given up on life!

"Boss, no need to ask her. Without any doubt, she is the one!" Riu Ren nudged his eye glasses sharply and glanced at Jessy Lauren from the corner of his eyes. 

"I… I didn't. Don't accuse me. Where is the evidence?!" Jessy Lauren murmured as she turned to Luo Lixi. 

The latter was also looking at her strangely. If she was really sent to the police station, then it would be difficult for her to get another job in the future even if she was to be proven innocent. 

Luo Lixi glanced at Riu Ren who again began to go against Jessy and then at Jessy Lauren who was on the verge of breaking down. Other people were keeping silent and were enjoying the show. 

Nobody stood up to defend Jessy Lauren nor anyone said anything against Riu Ren. Luo Lixi turned to Pan Er Jiu. The latter nodded at her and stood up. 

"We will start on creating a new batch of designs. Go back and prepare for this. Meeting dismissed." Luo Lixi said and then turned to leave but at this moment, Riu Ren yelled out angrily. 

"Boss, you can't let her go just because she is your friend!" 

At his words, Luo Lixi had to stop in her tracks and turn around. Her black orbs sharply stared at the man who was waiting for her response. 

Pan Er Jiu stood beside Luo Lixi and gauging that her boss was suppressing her anger, she went ahead and spoke out.

"Brother Ren, did you forget the basic manners?" 

"Ah, sorry. I was just in the heat of the moment." Riu Ren answered back awkwardly. 

He dared to be so unruly because he was one of the best chief designers of DreamArt and Luo Lixi also admired him for his talent. 

"Don't forget that Boss is the sole owner of DreamArt. She can make any decisions she wants. As for the culprit, we will surely find him or her. DreamArt has no place for traitors!"

While speaking, Pan Er Jiu swept her eyes around the meeting room. Some people straightened their backs at that and became nervous. 

"She can enter my office room without anyone's permission, that doesn't mean that she has done it. She isn't the only employee I have. You all are included in that. Who knows if any of you have done it!"

After finishing in anger, she glanced at Jessy Lauren and looked at Riu Ren. Pan Er Jiu whispered something beside Luo Lixi's ears and then both of them left. 

Others glanced at Jessy Lauren and left one by one. Nobody took the liberty to talk with her even though before, they used to fawn upon her. 

Riu Ren sneered at her pitiful expression and took his leave arrogantly. Also, before leaving, he nudged his eye glasses and side glanced at her disdainfully. 

He looked her in the eye and pointed his fingers to his eyes. Then pointed them to her face in a manner that meant, 'I am watching you.'

Jessy Lauren felt stifled and wanted to curse back but the man had already left. 

When all left, Jessy Lauren slumped down on a nearby seat and stared ahead in a daze. The amount of pressure she was in before was overwhelming. 

After a while, she took out her phone and sent someone a message. After she was done, she took a deep breath and left the room. 

When she stood in front of Luo Lixi's office, she didn't see anyone. After what happened in the meeting room earlier, she didn't dare to enter alone less she fell in trouble again. 

"Jessy, why are you here?" Someone asked from behind. Jessy Lauren flinched out as she swirled her head and stuttered. 

"I… I have come to m… meet the Boss." 

"Oh. I saw them leaving." The woman replied and then stormed away. She also didn't want to be seen talking with Jessy Lauren and getting entangled with her. 

"Sigh." Jessy Lauren breathed out as she left the corridor. The people in the CCTV room glanced at the leaving figure. Luo Lixi glanced at the screen and then turned away. 

She looked at Pan Er Jiu who was in the midst of recovering the destroyed footage with the help of another person. 

"What do you think? Can you recover?" Luo Lixi whispered beside Pan Er Jiu's ears. The other person had been sweating a lot even though two air conditioners were turned on in the room. 

"This… " Pan Er Jiu looked anxious as she stared at the screen. She couldn't help but panicked a lot upon realising that a big shot had erased the footage and if luck wasn't in their favour, it would he impossible to get the files back!
